This results in simpler install, but the instructions will be a lot different
than they are now.  Will KDE desktop integration be in the RPM?  Can we take

simplify things for users that have beginning knowledge of Linux.

After 1.0 I will shortly have the documentation fixed.  Do we want to issue it
as a patch?  or wait for the next release?
